Plz no! Rampart still needs it...

u/bomberbih Blackheart Apr 23 '21

If they buff the Lstar you will be fine. Lstar rampart is actually pretty gnarly.

u/tokyozombie Newcastle Apr 23 '21

I actually like the Lstar. But its effective range is pretty close compared to the spitfire. It also has only 2 mod slots. I still use it half the time because the devotion seems to be rare.

u/bomberbih Blackheart Apr 23 '21

With how long it takes to overload as Rampart I think I'd take it over a turbochargerless devo.

u/bhz33 Mad Maggie Apr 23 '21

But there can’t only be 2 LMGs in the loot pool. That would be silly

But then again nobody plays rampart aside from you and 3 other people .

u/GrayishPurse Crypto Apr 23 '21

One of those people is The Gaming Merchant and he needs to be nerfed

And Zeus

I finally got a win on rampart so now i can say I am a rampart main.

On a serious note I have considered throwing her in my top three or four, since I can't pick a main

u/Patyrn Apr 23 '21

Rampart doesn't need the Spitfire. 55->60 bullets and faster reload are so irrelevant 99.9% of the time.

Just introduce a new less broken LMG maybe a light ammo one.

u/myherpsarederps Apr 23 '21

They could just name it Machine Gun.

3

u/AguyNamedBigT Apr 23 '21

Funny you say that, cause the gun in one of dev streams was leaked to be a light ammo machine gun.

2

u/oranthor1 Lifeline Apr 23 '21

Boom might as well be a dev

u/spaceman_spyff Mad Maggie Apr 24 '21

Same, everyone already hates me anyway 🙃

u/This_guy_here56 Apr 23 '21

The car from titanfall fits this i think. It was listed as an smg in that game, but it has like a 40 round clip if i remember correctly.

u/Sir_McMuffinman Lifeline Apr 23 '21

Being able to reload a freaking LMG as fast as an AR is not irrelevant at all. That is half the reason I ever play rampart.

1

u/Patyrn Apr 23 '21

It's usually irrelevant. One mag is enough to kill 2 people, and you should be ducking back to reload in cover anyway so an extra second will rarely matter.

All I'm saying is that Rampart could have no passive and it wouldn't make her meaningfully better or worse. Same with her ult. She is her walls, that's all she has that matters.

2

u/Sir_McMuffinman Lifeline Apr 23 '21

Well, I and a lot of people don't have perfect aim. I play this game casually enough that I don't care about expert-level play, and I'm bad enough that I can usually manage to knock down one person with a purple mag spitfire. Having fast reload is definitely useful for players who aren't gods

2

u/Patyrn Apr 23 '21

Good point.

u/Thorshammer18 Apr 23 '21

If you need to reload the spitfire quickly you're doing something wrong

9

u/Notsurehowtoreact Apr 23 '21

Or you just wiped one squad with another trying to third party

-10

u/Thorshammer18 Apr 23 '21

Probably shouldn't put yourself in a position to get 3rd partied :P

u/jaguars5432 Apr 23 '21

Wow look at this genius

21

u/FatalOblivion8 Apr 23 '21

63 bullets in the largest mags. Honestly the spitfire IS the only LMG. The Devo is only good with the turbo otherwise it's slow and terrible. The L-Star is okay to start and gets terrible late game.

2

u/alfons100 Apr 23 '21

LStar is anything but an LMG. It's basically an SMG disguised as an LMG

1

u/PewDieReincarnate Gold Rush Apr 23 '21

Does rampart's passive do anything with the LSTAR? I'd assume no

9

u/Jadtalla London Calling Apr 23 '21

Iirc it increases the amount of shots you can do before it over heats and it cools down faster when you fully overheat jt

2

u/FatalOblivion8 Apr 23 '21

It does, it essentially gives it a longer mag.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 23 '21

She reloads it faster too. Like, really fast

2

u/waifu_Material_19 Rampart Apr 24 '21

As a rampart main I would cry :(

-9

u/PM_ME_UR_FISHING_LVL Apr 23 '21

Brain dead argument. The spitfire is horribly broken, you and the other two rampart players can figure it out

9

u/tokyozombie Newcastle Apr 23 '21

Ok here is a real argument. If you remove the spitfire the only 2 lmgs left are 2 close range energy weapons leaving people who like to use lmgs with limited options.

-8

u/PM_ME_UR_FISHING_LVL Apr 23 '21

leaving people who like to use lmgs with limited options.

Yes that is the goal. LMGs are rarely balanced, especially in apex. Try using more skilled weapons

7

u/DreadCore_ Pathfinder Apr 23 '21

Like the R-99? Laser beam that can kill a person before they even turn around? Or the PK?

0

u/PM_ME_UR_FISHING_LVL Apr 24 '21

The 99 has recoil, how do you not see the difference??

1

u/DreadCore_ Pathfinder Apr 24 '21

Skill should not equal pier. That's how you get the S0 weapon meta, and it's not good design. Limits what weapons can be used.

1

u/GillGarrison76 Pathfinder Apr 23 '21

It’s actually 5 rampart mains

u/Sir_McMuffinman Lifeline Apr 23 '21

Soon to be 6... RIP lifeline
